Great
I loved this book.
August

Awesome
I understand that many people are mad about the swearing, but this book is for young adults not children. It does also have an inappropriate scene but it’s for people 14 up so please don’t get mad over the swearing, just find another book for your age. But I think this book as amazing and the way characters and scenes are shown are deep and the twists at the end are so surprising.

Stopped reading it
Marketed as a book for young people. Several "F" words and many "sh-it" words. Don't care for that so I stopped reading it. What a shame. Why do they put that it books marketed for kids? I don't get it.
